Thousands of people gathered in Niagara Falls to protest outside the PC Convention at the Scotiabank Convention Centre.

The two-day event was Doug Ford's kick-off to his re-election campaign.
Ontario's Premier held an address at the convention which focused on his platform for 2022.
Meanwhile, the Ontario Federation of Labour organized a rally outside the event, protesting cuts under the Ford government.
The rally was held Saturday, just a day after all four of the major teachers' unions walked off the job in reaction to cuts to public education.
